Baked Potatoes

This is what I usually cook at the same time as a casserole, baked potatoes.
I select the potatoes I need. I wash or scrub them , remove any nasty looking bits with a knife. leave the skin on.
Pierce each potato with the knife a few times.
Cut a piece of foil for each potato.
Place one potato on a piece of foil.
I now add a drop of olive oil to the potato and cover it , use a brush or your hands.
Sprinkle with some salt.
Wrap the foil around the potato.
Put the potatoes on a tray or on the shelf around the casserole.
Large potatoes will take about 1 hour smaller 40 minutes.
Put in for the last hour of casserole cooking , high in the oven.
They are done when soft.
Enjoy

this still has to be a family favorite there is nothing better than a baked potato, for a braai or just with dinner and you can stuff them too, I just love them but my hips will tell a different story.

Hi KimdaCook
Thanks for coming by. Thats a really good idea to suggest the stuffed or filled baked potato. I like them with chilli, grated cheese, cottage cheese, a lot of salad(see my salad blog for ideas), beans, curry, the list is endless. Has anyone got any favourites they can suggest for baked potatoes?

My favorite fill would be cream spinach with feta cheese I just love it and just having that makes it a meal all on its own which is great.
